This disclaimer applies to all products sold by Home Apothecary Sdn Bhd (2024401015953 (1561803-K)) on www.homeapothec.com and to all content published on this Website and our social media channels.
1. Our Products Are Cosmetics, Not Medicine
All homeApothec products are botanical cosmetic skincare products. They are formulated to support, soothe, and care for the skin. They are not medicines, pharmaceutical products, or medical devices, and they are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition, including eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, or any other skin disorder.
References on this Website to skin concerns (such as dryness, sensitivity, or eczema-prone skin) describe the type of skin our products are formulated to support — they are not claims of treatment or cure.
2. Regulatory Status
Our products are cosmetic products [notified with the National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency (NPRA) Malaysia under the cosmetic notification scheme — publish this line only once QUEST3+ notification is completed for the relevant SKU]. Cosmetic notification confirms a product may be marketed as a cosmetic in Malaysia; it is not an endorsement, approval, or certification of efficacy by NPRA or the Ministry of Health.
Our products contain zero steroids, no parabens, and no added alcohol. Our formulations contain no animal-derived ingredients and no alcohol; however, our products are not certified by JAKIM.
3. Not Medical Advice
3.1 Content on this Website, our social media, and our WhatsApp consultations — including skin-type guidance and product recommendations — is provided for general informational purposes only and does not constitute medical or dermatological advice.
3.2 Our team can help you choose products suited to your skin type. We cannot diagnose skin conditions or advise on medical treatment.
3.3 If you have a diagnosed skin condition, are under dermatological care, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are choosing products for an infant or young child, please consult your doctor, dermatologist, or pharmacist before use.
4. Patch Test & Safe Use
- Always patch test before first use: apply a small amount to the inner forearm and observe for 24 hours.
- Discontinue use immediately if redness, itching, swelling, or irritation occurs.
- For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes. Keep out of reach of children (product storage).
- Review the full ingredient list on each product page before purchase if you have known allergies. Natural and botanical ingredients can still cause reactions in sensitive individuals.
5. Individual Results Vary
Skin is personal. Results described in customer stories, reviews, and before/after photos reflect those individuals' experiences and are not a guarantee of the results you will experience. Factors including skin type, condition severity, consistency of use, diet, climate, and overall health all influence outcomes.
Customer testimonials are voluntarily provided, are the genuine views of those customers, and are published with consent. They are not medical evidence.
6. Natural Variation
Our products are made through an 8-week botanical infusion process using natural plant material. Minor batch-to-batch variation in colour, scent, and texture is a natural characteristic of this process, not a quality defect.
7. Storage & Shelf Life
Store products in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use within the period stated on the product label after opening. Do not use products past their expiry date.
